Tennis Betting Lines

04/09/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seed Chilean Fernando Gonzalez and former world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt moved into the quarterfinals at the $500,000 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship, but second-seeded American John Isner was upset on Thursday.

Gonzalez, who titled here 10 years ago, outlasted South African qualifier Kevin Anderson, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 on the final match of the night Thursday.

The fourth-seeded and reigning Houston champion Hewitt outlasted Indian lucky- loser Somdev Devvarman 1-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7-2) in the second round at River Oaks Country Club. Hewitt prevailed in 1 hour, 53 minutes.

This marked Hewitt's first action since late January after undergoing right hip surgery. The Aussie star previously had surgery on his left hip.

The Hewitt-Devvarman match was rained out here on Wednesday.

The two-time major champion Hewitt, who enjoyed an opening-round bye this week, defeated American Wayne Odesnik in last year's finale here.

Hewitt's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be dangerous Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela.

Belgian Xavier Malisse upended Isner, 7-6 (7-3), 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-3) in a 2 1/2 hour encounter. Isner lost despite firing 14 aces.

Third-seeded American Sam Querrey eased into the quarters with a 6-2, 6-1 drubbing of Slovenian Blaz Kavcic. Querrey smacked six aces, notched four service breaks, and held his serve throughout the brief 60-minute affair.

The 6-foot-6 Querrey will meet Chilean veteran Nicolas Massu in the round of eight.

The aforementioned Odesnik advanced here on Day 4 with a 6-1, 7-5 decision against Russian Mikhail Kukushkin.

In other second-round play, sixth-seeded Argentine Horacio Zeballos handled Israeli Dudi Sela 6-3, 6-2. Zeballos will next meet Gonzalez, while Malisse meets Odesnik.

The 2010 Houston winner will earn $79,900.
